Description
|
|
This document defines an application programming interface (API) to X/Open Directory Services (XDS). This interface is designed to offer services that are consistent with, but not limited to, the 1988 CCITT X.500 Series of Recommendations and the ISO 9594 standard. Issue 3 includes revisions to align with the ISO Directory Services API group of standards, which in turn were based on the previous issue of this specification. XDS is one of several specifications originally developed in collaboration with the XAPI Association.

|
Usage
|
|
